Pathaan actor responded, "Coppola ne boht chakkar lagaye (Coppola visited a few times) but I told him ‘I don’t need a godfather, I am an outsider and not a nepo like someone we know’ (points at Vicky). Industry ke bachche, idhar udhar kya dekh raha hai? (Nepo kid, why are you looking around)"


Shah Rukh Khan who took a jibe at Vicky for being a nepo kid and called himself an outsider, was once questioned about the nepotism debate as his daughter Suhana Khan too entered the industry to become a heroine due to being his daughter.


Shah Rukh Khan was once asked about nepotism and his reply proved he is a king of wit," I don't understand this (nepotism). How can I understand it? I am a Delhi boy, who went to Mumbai at the age of 25. There everybody loved me and accepted me. So, I don't understand this talk. I don't understand this discussion (on nepotism). When I hear the word nepotism ', I feel the other person is talking about Napoleon. Even though I know enough English, still I don't understand it and the discussion. Whether I agree or disagree -- I don't even understand it so how can I have an opinion?".


Talking about his kids, Jawan star added, "I want my kids to make a name for themselves on their own feet. If they want to become marine biologist, then she should become that. If they want to become an actor or a filmmaker, then that's also great".


Suhana Khan is all set for her theatrical release with King starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. Aryan Khan will be making his debut as a director with his web series Stardom.
